I'm going insane trying to perform even the most basic video editing on Linux. Windows Movie Maker on XP was more functional and intuitive than anything I've found on Linux.
Cinelerra - No audio or video playback whatsoever. Interprets every file I open as either an empty sound file, or a garbled video.
Kino - No sound unless I use the padsp wrapper; then it's choppy. Crashes every few minutes, often with a C assertion.
LiVES - Takes several minutes just to open a small (< 1 MB) video clip.
OpenShot - Audio and video usually out of sync. Playback choppy.
VLMC - Half the UI widgets don't seem to do anything at all.
Same story with everything else I've tried. I keep reading all these rave reviews of Cinelerra and other programs and wondering what the hell people are smoking. I'm beginning to wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I'm on a AMD64 machine. I don't understand why, but I know some packages won't even compile or run at all on 64-bit architectures; ZSNES is one that I miss. Maybe these editors work fine on 32-bit, but not 64-bit?
So here's an informal survey, just to see if there's any pattern.
